Class Charts Parent Login: How to Log In and Get Started

If your child’s school uses Class Charts, you’ve probably heard about the parent app — a simple way to keep track of homework, timetables, and behaviour points once you’re logged in. But that first sign-up, with its school‑issued code and extra fields, can feel confusing.

Official website: classcharts.com/parent · Mobile apps: iOS (App Store) and Android (Google Play) · Access method: School‑provided parent access code · Key features: Homework, timetable, behaviour, attendance

Here’s a quick reference for the key facts about Class Charts for parents.

How do I log into Class Charts as a parent?

The login process has two stages: creating your account the first time, and then signing in each time after that. The school gives you a unique code for the initial setup — after that you use your email and password.

Creating an account

1. Go to classcharts.com/parent or open the parent app (available on Google Play and the iOS App Store via school guides).
2. Select “I don’t have an account yet” (Priory Lincoln Academy parent guide).
3. Enter your email address, choose a password, and type in the school‑provided parent access code.
4. Enter the pupil’s date of birth in DD/MM/YYYY format when prompted.
5. Verify your email address by clicking the link sent to your inbox.

Logging in via web browser

1. Go to classcharts.com/parent on any device.
2. Make sure the “Parent” option is selected at the top.
3. Enter the email address and password you used during sign‑up.
4. Optionally check “Remember me” to stay logged in.

Using the parent mobile app

• Download the official app from Google Play (Android) or App Store (iOS).
• Open the app and select “I already have an account”.
• Enter your email and password. The login screen looks the same as the web version.

The implication: once you have the access code, the login flow is straightforward and consistent across platforms.

How do I get a parent access code?

The parent access code is your key to creating an account. Each code is unique to you and your child — you cannot reuse a friend’s code.

Requesting code from school

• Contact your child’s school office or main reception. They will issue a code for each parent.
• The code is often sent via letter, email, or through an existing school portal.
• Some schools include the code in a welcome pack at the start of the year.

Finding code in school communications

• Search your email inbox for messages from the school with “Class Charts” or “parent access code” in the subject.
• Check school newsletters, term‑start letters, or the school website’s “Parents” section.
• If you lose the code, the school can issue a new one — it does not change what you have already set up.

The upshot Your access code is like a one‑time key. Keep it safe until you finish registration — after that you only need your email and password.

The pattern: getting the code is the only external step required; after that, you control access via your own credentials.

Can I see my child’s homework on Class Charts?

Yes — the homework tab shows every assigned task along with its deadline. You can also see whether your child has submitted the work.

Viewing assignments and due dates

• Log in and click the “Homework” tab. All tasks appear in a list with subject, teacher, due date, and any attached files.
• Each entry has a status: not submitted, submitted, or graded.
• Tap the task to see full details including instructions and any teacher comments.

Submitted work and teacher feedback

• If your school uses online submission, you can see the date your child handed in the work.
• Teachers can leave written feedback and a grade — both appear next to the submitted task.
• Parents cannot upload or change homework on behalf of the pupil; this is a read‑only view.

The implication: the homework tab turns Class Charts into a real‑time progress tracker — no more waiting for parents’ evening to know if deadlines are being missed.

How to check timetable on Class Charts?

The timetable section displays your child’s daily schedule, including subject, teacher, room number, and any last‑minute changes.

Viewing daily schedule

• Open the “Timetable” tab (web or app). You will see a week‑view grid showing each period.
• Subjects are colour‑coded. Tap an entry for details like specific room or teacher name.
• Swiping left or right lets you browse different weeks.

Understanding timetable changes

• Any room swaps, teacher cover, or lesson cancellations are updated in real time.
• A red badge or “changed” label appears next to modified entries so you notice them at a glance.
• This can help you spot if your child has a free period or a change in location.

What this means: the timetable feature is only as reliable as the school’s updates, but when working, it eliminates the need to call the office for schedule changes.

Can I have two children on Class Charts?

Yes — a single parent account can hold multiple children. You add each child using their individual access code.

Linking multiple children

• After logging in, go to “Account” or “Settings” and choose “Add a child”.
• Enter the second child’s school‑provided access code and date of birth.
• The new child’s data will appear alongside the first in your dashboard.

Switching between children’s profiles

• On the web, click your child’s name in the top‑right corner to open a dropdown list of all linked children.
• In the mobile app, tap the child‑switch icon (usually two silhouettes) to toggle between profiles.
• Homework, timetable, behaviour, and attendance data update automatically when you switch.

Why this matters: no need to juggle separate accounts for each child. One login, one dashboard, and you see each child’s school life side by side.

When you tap the parent app icon on your device, you will be presented with the Class Charts Login screen. Simply enter the email address and password you used.
